[EM] Proportional preferential voting

[Wiseman, Julian]

See the "Note of Reservation" by Lord Alexander of Weedon QC in the Report
Of The Independent Commission on the Voting System,
(http://www.official-documents.co.uk/document/cm40/4090/chap-9.htm#c9-a).
His comments are about 'small-STV', called AV, but the point is equally
applicable. 

Indeed, Lord Weedon almost but not quites manages to conclude that
non-monotonic systems have embedded randomness -- something not widely
acknowledged.
